This covers the first 24 hours of edits, starting 30 minutes before his name was announced in the *Habemus papam* declaration. All times are in UTC, which is what Wikipedia uses.
Since the “[Pope Leo XIV](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Leo_XIV)” article was created (his article was previously called “Robert Francis Prevost”), it has been edited 2,334 times by 626 separate editors. This data covers the first 24 hours, starting 30 minutes before his election was announced.
Major edit wars have covered topics including: is he American, North American, Peruvian, or Peruvian-American? What photo should we use of him? Is he an Augustinian or “a member of an Augustinian order”? How much detail should we have on his White Sox fandom? Is he secretly a vegetarian? Does he speak German? All this and more has been discussed on [the talk page](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Pope_Leo_XIV).
Interesting data! Is there any more stats like this for other wiki pages?
I pope he will be a good pope.
When I tried to look at his Wikipedia right after he was announced, it was being edited in real time. Google still had the link to his previous article, so I clicked on “Robert Francis Prevost” and got sent to a page that was basically blank apart from the title “Leo XIV” and the line “First american pope”. We should strive for more concise articles like that.
For some reason the article also featured an image of Cardinal Parolin for a short while
I wonder how many, if any, of these edits were because someone used the term “Comprised of”
